Should managers bother with rotation at all (unless there are injuries/drop in form/tiredness) ?

I have tried to give my squad game-time as it will improve thier skill points and make substitutions where I possible to give them a "run out". Particularly against poor opposition.

But I noticed sometimes the player substituted says he is "not about about it". Does this mean the morale of the player will be affected?

Should I just stick to exactly the same XI instead week in week out and not make any substitutions except for injuries or tactical reasons.
Having a bench is useful for depth. If you're only playing in one competition the only depth you need be concerned with is covering injuries.

However if you're playing in the cup and/or champions league, having a bench allows you to rest players and conserve green packs if you have a league match in close proximity to the cup/cl match.
